i highly doubt he is coming just to check out coachella... he's gotta be playin. seeing him at edc was beyond words, kept thinking how awesome it would be if he was at coachella this year :) this is amazing news

I haven't seen him play in a few years. I'd be down to see him in the desert this year. However, last set I saw him he was touring with deadmau5 as his opener. As deadmau5 was far from played out at that point, he kind of stole the show.

i thought that was kind of a weird pairing...his essential mixes are really good, but his fundacion NYC recording is quite possibly my favorite though.

Well considering everyone and their cousin were playing his tracks, it wasn't all that surprising. But yeah, the energy of the two sets were quite different, quite. I used to be the biggest Sasha fan, but over the years have drifted more towards the Balance series players (i.e. Desyn Masiello, Paolo Mojo, etc).

I should probably check out some recent sets to see whats in his bag of tricks.

this is likely just Sasha, right? not with Digweed?

i wish it would be. I saw them throw down an epic 6 hour set many moons back; pretty damn good time on the farm

Both of the boys coming back is possible but not very likely.

Sasha > UW would deserve the greatest multiple glowruption we could pull off.

I missed Digweed the other night but am really looking forward to this. His first Involver album was stunning. I still have fond memories of listening to it while tripped out on mushrooms at a friend's party on 4th of July '04.

Not feeling that Glastonbury bootleg at all.

However, Sasha's live @ Circus Liverpool(500th Essential Mix) is GREAT.

Lilia posted the link further up.

Wheres the beef?

01-04-2011, 08:28 PM

The first time I heard it I didn't like it either. But I think after a second listen you'll hear what everyone is talking about.

01-04-2011, 08:55 PM

Of course
this (http://mixing.dj/2010/04/24/sasha-and-richie-hawtin-live-at-circus-liverpool-500th-essential-mix-sat-04-23-2010/) is amazing, did you check
that (http://mixing.dj/2010/04/24/sasha-and-richie-hawtin-live-at-circus-liverpool-500th-essential-mix-sat-04-23-2010) date??

Fact: I went running to Sasha's EDC set tonight and then had to go out to a bar for a goodbye party and I spent the entire night counting down the minutes til I could stop small talking with people I don't give a shit about and come back and listen to more Sasha.

Wheres the beef?

Petition to make this the Sasha thread when the lineup comes out.

If anyone has 4 hours to spare, this (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=78GQIM2G) set of Sasha's from 2008 @ Sky Club is pretty fucking rad.

Still bummed S & D conflicted with Prince. Not that I would not have seen Prince for almost anyone, but still, it sucked.

It was portishead too. The time before when they played coachella the conflict was with chemical brothers live on mainstage.

This will be my first time seeing Sasha, I'll get to find out what everyone loves so much about him.

i've only seen sasha with digweed twice before and wasn't blown away. maybe digweed blows (i know this to not be true, just saying, the panty creaming going on around here is a bit excessive at least from what i've seen) still would gladly take sasha over about 80% of what we is normally in the sahara. gonna hope for sahara magic to make it as mind-bending as hyped.

I've never had the opportunity to just catch a Sasha set so I'm pretty excited also. I saw Sasha and Digweed together at Together as One a few years back.

Sasha's most recent twitter: "Great week in the studio. Lots of writing.Unleashing the power of max for LIVE and Maschine.Going to have a couple of monsters ready for WMC"

I hope he drops some of those in SF this Friday.

Move this to the LINE-UP/ARTISTS section already!

Listing him on the 3rd row of the lineup would be an indicator. I'm hoping he's on next week's cover of mixmag.

Don't worry, Daft Punk isn't playing so you don't have to worry about that happening.

The name is arbitrary. I do not want the two words “Sasha” and “conflict” in the same thought, ever.

Alright, I listened to this and thought the Hawtin section of the mix was the better part. Hopefully seeing Sasha live will make me change my mind, but out of the progressive house sets I own there are some I would put above Sasha's section of that Essential Mix.
